Linguistically-Driven Strategy for Concept Prerequisites Learning on Italian

Alessio Miaschi, Chiara Alzetta, Franco Alberto Cardillo, Felice Dell’Orletta

Abstract
We present a new concept prerequisite learning method for Learning Object (LO) ordering that exploits only linguistic features extracted from textual educational resources. The method was tested in a cross- and in- domain scenario both for Italian and English. Additionally, we performed experiments based on a incremental training strategy to study the impact of the training set size on the classifier performances. The paper also introduces ITA-PREREQ, to the best of our knowledge the first Italian dataset annotated with prerequisite relations between pairs of educational concepts, and describe the automatic strategy devised to build it.
